| | WRONGO .. Bob, polarization IS a factor between the two stations
| | | communicating.  .. MOST of the time, they should be "dancing" .. but,
| that
| | | is not 1��% true, but USUALLY, it is THE important factor.   You have
| | | experience with this, n'est-ce-pas?   I used to use a 6M Gotham TWIST
| | | antenna back in the early 70s  ..   it was great for snaggin sigs ..
but
| | the
| | | 14 el horizontal KLM used to kick it's butt, usually, after the band
was
| | | really OPEN ..
| | | Now have a 14 el laying (lying?) in the back yard, will be sticking in
| the
| | | air, and just my swapped HF for a Ranger 1��W 6M radio so I can
| | | listen/Transmit, and provide a live feed to the Internet 6M fans,
| without
| | | tying up other rigs for the job.  Now, you have me thinking .. how
about
| a
| | | every so often I switch `tween hor and vert ... like every hour?
Easy
| to
| | | do!  Idea is to have like a "reverse" beacon .. you send, on .. say
| | 50.125,
| | | a HELLO test .. and then, about 15 seconds or so, later, you get back
| the
| | | results of your hallllloooo on the internet, via my site .... @
| N7�  --- 
| | | then, 5 minutes later, you do it again, other polarization (my station
| has
| | | switched aerials on the 60 minute marker, so you would have to take
that
| | | into consideration) And, in the meantime you can flop your poles
.. --- 
| | then
| | | you will know something you only suspected before?  What say, OM ..
| and
| | | howdy to those out there reading this .. whatcha think?  Note .. this
| will
| | | be a totally remote thing, as my station, for this exercise, would not
| be
| | | TRANSMITTING .. just "lurking" and putting the results available via
the
| | | Internet.

| | | You really dont see the difference MOST of the time......actually a
| | | CIRCULAR polarized antenna works best in skip or DX mode....because
any
| | | shifts in polarization is ignored by the CP antenna....a Linear
antenna
| | | may "see" a reflection shift from one pol to another and yes, you
could
| | | end up with a deep fade then....but with a CP antenna, you only lose
3db
| | | or so all the time...and have less fades due to pol shifts.
